I Was There 1980s - Sports & Leisure
80s - Sports & Leisure: While the Springbok Tour didn’t get the 80s off to the best possible start, we had plenty to celebrate later on that decade. The very next year in fact, we were glad to support the non-controversial All Whites as they made their first ever appearance at the Football World Cup. Five years later it was time to rehabilitate rugby in the eyes of the public, as we hosted the first Rugby World Cup - and claimed the trophy as our own.
Join legendary TV presenters Dougal Stevenson, Jennie Goodwin, Judy Bailey and Tom Bradley in a brand new local series, I Was There showing every weeknight in June. Each episode is presented by one of our iconic Kiwi newsreaders and covers a new decade. From the 60s through to the 90s, as viewers are taken through the biggest moments in New Zealand history over four momentous periods of change. I Was There unearths footage from rare archives, and fresh interviews offer new perspectives on the moments that changed our nation, from national tragedies to sporting triumphs and cultural milestones - all from the people who lived them.
